Sarasvati offered the seat of sacred grass to Indra, the divine and virtuous, the two Ashvins gave Indra splendour, like brilliance of the eyes, for gain of wealth, and performed sacrifice to honour Indra, so should you perform the sacrifice.

The celestial Doors, the twain Ashvins, the Physicians and Sarasvati gave breath into Indra’s nostrils and manly strength for gain to wealth and performed the yajna, so should you perform the sacrifice.

Just as the beautiful Dawn and Night, the goddesses, the two Ashvins and Sarasvati gave strength and speech in the mouth of Indra for gain of wealth and performed yajna, so should you perform the sacrifice.

Just as both the nursing goddesses Morning and Evening, both the Ashvins and goddess Sarasvati making Indra grow strong gave him fame and power of gain of wealth and performed yajna, so should you perform the sacrifice.

Just as the two goddesses, well yielding cows, divine Sarasvati, the healing Physicians, the two Ashvins formed Indra’s guards and from their breasts through sacrifice gave him strength and brilliant light for gain of wealth, so should you by sacrifice.

Today this man, the Sacrificer cooking oblations, cooking sacrificial food, binding to the sacrificial post a goat for the Ashvins, a ram for the Sarasvati, a bull for Indra’s love, pressing out Soma-juice for the Ashvins, Sarasvati and Indra, the best protector, has chosen Agni as his Hotar-priest.

Today the god of Herbs has rendered a good service to the Ashvins with a goat, to Sarasvati with a ram and to Indra with a bull. The gods have accepted the sacrifice, they have accepted the cooked offerings and have grown strong with these oblations. They, Sarasvati, Ashvins and Indra have enjoyed the Soma juices.

O Seer, foremost of the Seers, descendant of the Seers, this Sacrificer has chosen you today, of all the gods assembled here together saying that you shall, O Agni, win for him by sacrifice the choice-worthy treasures among the gods. O god Agni, whatever gifts the gods have given, kindly you do approve and grant. O Hotar Agni, you have been sent as a man, selected and sent for benediction, for good speech, speak good words!
